Beckhoff CX1020 Series - BIOS Setup Usage

74 Embedded PC
Note on using the setup
Warning
Beckhoff Automation GmbH supplies the CX1020 systems pre-configured, which means they are
READY FOR USE!
The BIOS settings should only be modified by appropriately trained staff
.
Under Windows CE the BIOS should not be changed at all, since the operating system is
adapted to the hardware configuration. Any change in the addresses or interrupts would lead to
unstable system behaviour or even crashing.
Within the individual setup pages, F6 can be used for loading fail-safe defaults, and F7 for optimised default values
for the individual setup entries. These default values are applied irrespective of whether the board was previously
booted successfully with a particular setup setting. The situation is different if the defaults are called from the TOP
menu. Once a setup setting that subsequently led to successful booting was saved, both menu items will load these
values as defaults for the setup pages. See also "Load Fail-Safe Defaults" and "Load Optimized Defaults".

"Brief description of the function selected above"
A „►“ sign in front of the menu item indicates that a submenu is available. A „x“ sign in front of a menu item indicates
that a setting option is available that first has to be activated via a higher-level setting.
Load Fail-Save Defaults
This option is used for absolute security settings. It is not suitable for continuous operation, but can be useful if the
PC malfunctions.
Load Optimized Defaults
This option is used for setting optimum values as recommended by the manufacturer.
